The way I was testing was by setting the quota warning threshold low like 1%,2%,3% then sending myself test
messages to try and generate a warning message. I would open my inbox in Thunderbird and see the quota level
reach 1%,2% etc but no warning message. It was only when I actually deleted a message from my inbox (move to
trash) that a warning was generated.

NB: PCI is not to fit Worldpay's requirements; but rather the body of 
PCI-DSS (Visa & Mastercard).

1. What was the scanning tool? Qualys?
2. What level of severity was this flagged as?  From when i've done PCI 
audit's, anything > 2 needed addressing, anything <=2 was able to pass.
It may be the case your customer has nothing to worry about with regards 
to this specific warning...

Hello.

Indeed, the folder is created with the sieve rule (cf precedent mail). I
see this line in my deliver log:

Unknown dict module: mysql

Hi

I'm trying to set up the dict/expiry plugins, but the dict server always
tells me it can't find the modules although they should be there and
compiled in.

System is: Centos 5.2 64 bit, Using rpm from
http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/

dovecot --version
1.1.3

Relevant config:

dict {
  quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot-dict-quota.conf
  expire = mysql:/etc/dovecot-dict-expire.conf
}

plugin {

  quota = dict:::proxy::quotadict
  quota_rule = *:storage=10M:messages=1000
  quota_warning = storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quotawarning.py 95
  quota_warning2 = storage=75%% /usr/local/bin/quotawarning.py 75

  acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot-acls

  expire = Trash 30 Trash/* 30 Spam 14
  expire_dict = proxy::expire

"dovecot: Maximum number of mail processes exceeded"

At noon, I often get "dovecot: Maximum number of mail processes

I'm at my wits end, which parameter needs to be increased further?

Re: ACL plugin

Matvey finished a first version of the IMAP front end to the ACL plugin.

You can find the changes for dovecot 1.1.3 here:
  http://hg.intevation.org/kolab/dovecot-1.1_acl-branch/
and as we decided to move on to 1.2, here:
  http://hg.intevation.org/kolab/dovecot-1.2_acl-branch/

As of writing this the changes for 1.1.3 and 1.2 are the same (but the
1.2 version isn't really tested yet).

cheers

Hi Ralf,

You have to increase "max_mail_processes" as this code emits the error
message:

        if (mail_process_count == set->max_mail_processes) {
                i_error("Maximum number of mail processes exceeded");
                return MASTER_LOGIN_STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR;
        }

[...]
> max_mail_processes: 1024
[...]

But the question is: how much user are accessing your server
simultaneously? Is it really more than 1024 or is mail_process_count wrong?
Your overpowered server is surely able to handle more than 1024 connections.

how about subscribing that folder? autocreation doesnt imply
autosubscribe. i am sure users might be a bit angry if you autosubscribe
any folder of theirs, esp. if they read their mails via a mobile device.

By default, my users must subscribe to all folders.
